Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.

The parallel lines that run from east to west on a map show lines of longitude. Latitude specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface.
Latitude-fatitude, it runs from east to west, this means that it measures north-south.

Lines of latitude run east-west around the Earth and are parallel to the equator. The equator is at 0° latitude, with lines increasing to 90°N at the North Pole and 90°S at the South Pole. Lines of longitude run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure east-west distance. The Prime Meridian is at 0° longitude and runs through Greenwich, England.
is the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator,
Not all maps show latitude and longitude. On those that do some have horizontal lines indicating where lines of latitude lie, and on the right and left margins of the map these lines will have the latitude they represent marked. Then on some maps the lines are missing but the notations in the margin show where the lined of latitude should be.
A Globe can show a person what the entire world looks like. However, depending on the type, it does not always show country lines, roads, county lines, state lines, nor does is show all cities.

longitude
The parallel lines that run from east to west on a map show lines of longitude. Latitude specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface.
Latitude-fatitude, it runs from east to west, this means that it measures north-south.
Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.
